Anyone used the MaxiTrip (Scangauge II copy)?

Pardon me if this is a repost, but I have searched exhaustively and could find no reference to this product.
I was searching for OBDII scanners and I happened across this MaxiTrip Scangauge II clone from Autel. It appears to be a Chinese knockoff of the SG.
Linky to Autel's site
I was curious if anyone has used this device and if it delivers on it's claims.
Als, I cannot tell if either the MT or the SG will read EGTs.
I am trying to trouble shoot P1130 and P1071/2 codes and would like a dash mounted MPG display as well.
Also, I know there is a lengthy thread for Scangauge users, but I cannot find it for some reason with the search tool. If someone could point me there that wold be great.

Oh. by the way, it is roughly half the price of the scangauge at $79.99 from Amazon.

I have a ScanGauge in my 4Runner. It is buggy at times.

By the looks of it I would by the MaxiTrip. It comes with a cable to update your unit. The ScanGauge has to be sent in at a cost of $25 for and update. And gauge support for a 4Runner is basic. I don't know what guages are available from MaxiGauge, but you should read up on it.

To me, the update cable is reason enough to buy the Maxiguage.

Sorry, I really only needed a code reader for my a/f sensor problem, but I figured I may as well get a full blown monitor for only a few bucks more.
Then I found a MaxiScan MS300 handheld reader for a paltry $23. I grabbed it.
I may still pick one up if my gas mileage doesn't come back to normal. That's all I really wanted one for, real time MPG monitoring.
